Alex Edelman: What Are You Going to Do
Alex Edelman presents *What Are You Going to Do*, a comedy and spoken-word performance that combines stand-up with narrative storytelling. The performance is presented as a new solo work from one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation. A second show has been added.
Edelman’s previous solo show, *Just for Us*, ran for more than 500 performances internationally, including off-Broadway and Broadway engagements, before becoming an HBO comedy special in 2024. He has received a Tony Award, an Emmy Award for Best Writing for a Variety Special, and recognition on the Time 100 list. His other work includes an appearance in Netflix’s *Unfrosted*, television writing, and a forthcoming starring and consulting-producer role on Peacock’s *The Paper*, a Greg Daniels-led successor to *The Office*.
